Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7203

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7203. 'And I will lead you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians' means that the Lord will release them from the molestations of those steeped in falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'leading out' as releasing; from the meaning of 'the burdens' as molestations by falsities, and conflicts, dealt with in 6757, 7104, 7105; and from the meaning of 'the Egyptians' as those who molest by introducing falsities, dealt with just above in 7199.
